My life’s passion is practicing, studying, and inspiring a deeper sense of connection with ones’ true nature.

I became a devout student of yoga, meditation, and all things healing after my first yoga class at 18 years old in 1995.  A year later, my father and I took my first trip to Nepal where I was able to witness cultures approaching their life from a place of sacred reverence. This mind blowing travel exposed me to Buddhism, Hinduism, Chinese medicine, and the amazing energy of the Himalayan mountains.

30 years later, I’ve made my life a practice of using whatever shows up on my path as an opportunity for spiritual growth and deeper connection. Professionally, I have dedicated my healing practice to help others awaken to the gifts of their lives.

And just like you, I am human, I forget and get caught in my thoughts, the dominant cultures ideas of how I should be,  I have my triggers, baggage from my upbringing, and moments of holding too tight. However, every morning I start again by dedicating myself to cultivating self awareness, to serving others, and to being kind with the clunkiness of being an imperfect human. 

I have been teaching yoga, meditation, qigong and healthy living since 2000 and practicing Chinese medicine in Talent, Oregon for 16 years.. Outside of the clinic, I love meditating, gardening, hiking and spending time with friends and family.
